Tusa Nero Su Bianco

Tusa Nero Su Bianco is a series of literary events that takes place throughout the year in Tusa, often in the Magazzini Notarili or in other historic and evocative sites in Tusa and the surrounding area. A cultural initiative that began in the early 2000s as a project of Alfonsina Bellomo and Daniela Tasca, Tusa Nero Sul Bianco was reborn in 2015 with the participation of Giovanni Cristina and continues to welcome a series of notable guests each year.

On August 8, 2015, Tusa Nero su Bianco hosted author Franco La Torre, anti-mafia activist and the son of Pio La Torre, killed by the mafia in 1982. La Torre presented his newly-released book, Sulle Ginocchia, La Storia di Pio La Torre which recounts the story of his father, who worked tirelessly to expose the links between the mafia and the State and to bring to light the guilty parties and shady dealings within the city of Palermo - for which he paid with his life.
